FROM LARGER PROJECTS SUCH AS THE SAND RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT (WHICH AIMS TO KEEP A CORRIDOR OPEN BETWEEN THE MAASAI MARA AND THE SACRED MAASAI NAIMINA ENKIYIO FOREST IN A WAY THAT BENEFITS PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE IN THIS AREA), TO SMALLER PROJECTS LIKE IMPROVING SECURITY AND FACILITIES AT RURAL SCHOOLS TO REDUCE HUMAN WILDLIFE CONFLICT AND CREATE BENEFITS FOR LIVING ALONGSIDE WILDLIFE. VOLUNTEERS THE FOUNDATION CURRENTLY HAS 29 ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE BASED IN 7 COUNTRIES. SAND RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT THE SAND RIVER CORRIDOR IS ONE OF THE KEY WILDLIFE CORRIDORS FOR ELEPHANTS BETWEEN THE MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE, NAIMINA ENKIYIO - THE SACRED FOREST, AND THE GREAT RIFT VALLEY NEAR THE KENYA-TANZANIA BORDER. A NUMBER OF CORRIDORS ARE BEING IDENTIFIED IN THIS AREA USING GEOGRAPHIC AND ELEPHANT COLLAR TRACKING DATA COLLECTED BY OUR PARTNERS THE MARA ELEPHANT PROJECT (MEP). THE CORRIDOR HAS AN ALTITUDE VARIANCE OF 1000 FEET, AND IT LINKS AREAS WITH INCREDIBLE BIODIVERSITY. IT IS PART OF WHAT KEEPS THE MARA, RIFT VALLEY, SERENGETI, AND AMBOSELI ECOSYSTEMS CONNECTED. KEEPING CORRIDORS LIKE THIS ONE OPEN IS CRITICAL BECAUSE IT ALLOWS WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS DIFFERENT RESOURCES AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR AND MAINTAIN ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND RESILIENCE TO CHANGES IN CLIMATE. THE AREA HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN COMMUNALLY OWNED RANGELANDS BELONGING TO SEMI-NOMADIC PASTORALIST MAASAI COMMUNITIES, BUT RECENT GOVERNMENT POLICY CHANGES MEAN THE LANDSCAPE IS BEING SUBDIVIDED AND SHARED OUT INTO SMALL INDIVIDUAL TITLES. PARTS OF THIS WILDERNESS AREA HAVE ALREADY BEEN FENCED AND CONVERTED INTO PATCHWORKS OF SMALL FARMS, WHICH RESTRICT CONNECTIVITY AND INCREASE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. WE AND OUR PARTNERS CWCT, MEP AND THE FOREST GUARDIANS ARE WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITIES ALONG THE CORRIDOR TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE LAND USE PLANS THAT BENEFIT THEM AND KEEP THIS CORRIDOR OPEN FOR THEM AND FOR WILDLIFE. WE HAVE ALSO STARTED TO INVEST IN DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS BEEKEEPING AND GROW BAGS, WHICH HELP TO REDUCE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT ALONG THE CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION TO THIS WE ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP NEW PARTNERSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND EMPOWER THEM TO FORM ORGANISATIONS WE CAN PARTNER WITH ON THIS PROJECT. IN 2021 WE HELPED OSERO COMMUNITY FOOTBALL LEAGUE REGISTER AS A CBO ORGANISATION, AND IN 2022 WE HELPED IT TO DEVELOP ITS OWN SUSTAINABLE REVENUE SOURCES IN ORDER TO EMPOWER THE OVER 150 YOUNG PEOPLE IT REPRESENTS. IN 2022 WE ALSO HELPED OLDERKESI COMMUNITY SPORTS LEAGUE TO REGISTER AS A CBO AND WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS PROGRAM WE SPONSOR STUDENTS FROM KENYA, TANZANIA AND ETHIOPIA TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS OF FINISHING THEIR EDUCATION. SO FAR THE PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED 58 STUDENTS AND MANY OF THEM HAVE BECOME FORCES FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN 2022 WE SPONSORED A TOTAL OF 32 STUDENTS IN KENYA, TANZANIA AND ETHIOPIA ONE OF WHOM WAS DAVID. WE HELPED DAVID TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND IS HIS STORY: MY NAME IS DAVID, AND I AM NINETEEN. I WAS BORN IN OLNG'AENET VILLAGE NAIKARRA WARD. WHEN I GREW UP, I HAD MY FATHER, MY MOTHER, AND MY STEPMOTHER. WE WERE NINETEEN CHILDREN, TEN BOYS AND NINE GIRLS. ALL OF THEM ARE STILL ALIVE. MY MOTHER AND STEPMOTHER ARE STILL ALIVE, BUT MY FATHER PASSED AWAY TEN YEARS AGO. I STARTED SCHOOL AT OUR VILLAGE SCHOOL, OLPALAGILAGI PRIMARY SCHOOL IN THE YEAR 2011. I STARTED GRADE ONE WITHOUT DOING IN NURSERY OR BABY CLASS BECAUSE, AT THAT TIME, I WAS A BIG BOY TO START AT THAT LEVEL OF EDUCATION. I WAS THE ONLY ONE MY MOTHER HAD TO PAY SCHOOL FEES FOR FROM GRADE ONE THROUGH SIX BECAUSE MY OLDER SIBLINGS DID NOT LEARN ABOUT EDUCATION. THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY EDUCATION BECAUSE OF THIS. AS THE COST OF SCHOOL FEES INCREASED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL, I MYSELF WENT TO SEARCH FOR A JOB SO THAT I COULD EARN SOMETHING FOR SCHOOL FEES. I THANK GOD FOR THE TIME THAT I HAVE SPENT WITH MZEE UHURU AS HE KNEW MY EDUCATION WAS IMPORTANT, AND HE GAVE ME A JOB DURING THE HOLIDAYS. I REALLY APPRECIATE HIM TOGETHER WITH MY LOVELY OTHER DAD PETER SILVESTER. I CONTINUED WITH THE SUPPORT OF MZEE UHURU, AND THEN WHEN I CAME TO SECONDARY SCHOOL MY FEES INCREASED A LOT. THEN YOU HELPED ME THROUGH THE ROYAL AFRICAN FOUNDATION AND NOW I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL. I THANK GOD FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THANK ALL FROM ROYAL AFRICAN. GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. (UHURU IS ONE OF OUR ROYAL AFRICAN FOUNDATION VOLUNTEERS, AND PETER SILVESTER IS ONE OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS). WESTGATE LPUS LELUAI SCHOOL LPUS LELUAI SCHOOL, IS A VERY RURAL SCHOOL IN WESTGATE COMMUNITY CONSERVANCY IN SAMBURU COUNTY, NORTHERN KENYA. IT ALREADY HAD SOME SCHOOL BUILDINGS WHEN WE FIRST VISITED IT IN 2008, BUT IT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MORE THAN THAT. OVER THE YEARS, THEY HAVE ASKED FOR HELP AND WE AND OUR DONORS HAVE HELPED THEM BY INSTALLING A SOLAR LIGHTING SYSTEM IN 2009, AN ELECTRIC FENCE TO STOP ELEPHANTS FROM CHASING THE STUDENTS IN THE GROUNDS (WHICH WE REPAIRED IN 2021). TOGETHER WE HAVE ALSO DONATED THINGS LIKE DESKS, SCHOOL BOOKS, STATIONARY, SANITARY TOWELS FOR GIRLS, MIRRORS, FOOD SUPPLIES, GUTTERS, AND A WATER COLLECTION TANK. IN 2022, AFTER 13 YEARS, THE SOLAR LIGHTS SYSTEM NEEDED REPAIRS AND ALL THE BOARDING STUDENTS WERE HAVING TO HUDDLE IN ONE CLASSROOM TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK AT NIGHT. SO SOME OF OUR DONORS GENEROUSLY DONATED FOR US TO REPAIR IT AND ADD EXTRA SECURITY LIGHTS TO THE OUTSIDE. ALSO, IN 2022, THE SCHOOL HAD A TOTAL OF 308 STUDENTS, BUT ONLY 3 TOILETS. SO WITH THE HELP OF OUR DONORS, WE BUILT THEM 4 MORE TOILETS. WE ALSO RESTOCKED AND REFURBISHED THEIR SCHOOL LIBRARY WITH TEXTBOOKS AND EXTRA- CURRICULAR BOOKS WHICH ARE BRINGING THEM LOTS OF ENJOYMENT AND BENEFITTING THEIR STUDIES THIS IS SHOWN BECAUSE IN 2022 THEY BECAME THE BEST PERFORMING SCHOOL IN THEIR SAMBURU EAST CONSTITUENCY. |
